The Illinois, and Michigan Canal.

1t Is certa!aly gratifying TO the friends OF
the Illinois ship C anal projects to see that
the East Is beginning to recognize the fact
that this project Is not local improve ment
Job" but work in which the whole coun.
try, especially the states of the northwes.
and those bordering on the lakes, are as
greatly Interested, If not more so than the
state of Illinois itself As An index Of the
gowing feeling OF interest In the ship canal
In the East we clip the following from the
Amertcan Manufacturer Of Pittsburgh the
organ of the National Iron and Steel As.
sOCiation
The Michigan and Illinois canal, whose
tarmini are at Chicago, on Lake Michigan,
and La sale, on the Illinois river, should
he converted into shi p canal, large enough
to float merchant vessels and men ofwar,
Such canal would be great aid 10 com
merce and much needed means of de
Tense for our northern border against pos
sibie demonstrations by England and Can
ada.
In accordance with treaty between this
country and England, neither power car

believr) nan-Of. war on the great lakes
but should war occur between the two coun
tries England could very quickly cover the
lakes with naval vessels by way of the st
| Lawrence river and the Welland canal
while this country could place such vessels
there only as fast as they could be built
and as il requires several months 10 build
| Al, IA I.N yn,s T..
the meantime the vessels of the enemy
would have omplete control of the lakes
and all the lake ports. The commerce Of
the lakes would be destroyed and hostile
cannon would command every port from
Buffalo TO Duluth. That treaty was made
we believe, before the construction of thu
Weland canal, and it is therefore quest
ion whether it should not now be modified
or terminated.
In the meantime, the Michigan cana
should be widened and deepened withOu
unnecessary waste of time. The expense
would not be great. The distance is only
about 100 miles, the country Is level, ant
the sell easily excavated. But whether tn,
expense would be great or small, the i'm
provement Is of SO much importance that
| it should be made Considered as Wal
measure alone, ii would be the cheapes
method of providing for the defense of on
northern border that the Government coulC
adop. The loss to the iron industry alone
should m enemy get controle of the lakes
would in Que year amount to more than the
cost of enlarging the canal. And yet grea
as this loss would be it would be but AS ,
drop in the bucket compared with the tot
nj loss that would result. No other nation
in the world tempts I'D fates like ours, anc
some of these times our legislstors will b.
rudely aroused TO u realization of the fac
that this is neither the policy of wisdom
nor of everyday common sense.

the acknowledged superior of any remedy
for similar purposes. Purely vegetable and

DORIS GOWNS Big show Had All the

Last night was a busy one nj ths show.
Thousand of circus goers waited till the
clouds rolled by and then Il ,cked into tn e
big tents OF the Doris Il Colvin show. The
rope was stretched across the entrance To
the big circus and hippolrome tent, and
late corners we're forced TO stand In the
entryway leading to the great menageris
tent. The aud .ence was certainly as we'll
behaved and delighted as 1t WAS large, and
the performers were, it might be- said, In.
spired, so spirited and lively were the acts
they performed. Oae thing must be said
of the big show, and that is that every
actor Is finished artist and every act a
perfect picture toned with artistic skill
The circus performers are, without doubt,
the best we have had here for some time,
and the riding, leaping, tumbling, aerial
juggling, cont Jrtion, gymnsstic and other
acts cannot be eXc-lled.

We are not old enough 10 speak from actual
observation and we concede that they were
when the coliseum had its day; but II they
rode any better and faster, any finer, any
Drawer any more graceful than the Doris
II Covin riders dc, they certainly rode at
such pace and in such a way that the
most captious critic should praise without
stint. The hippodrome presents the most
